    That ain't no planter, that's hotrod material. Build it!! Make a 2 x 3 tube frame, put a small V-6 under that hood with a 5-speed behind and a Ranger or S-10 rear end. Leave the rear of the body as is (depot hack?). Make some old style wrap-around bucket seats like a Stutz or Mercer speedster and leave the sides of the cab open. Chop it, but not as much as in your altered picture. Use some painted steel wheels and blackwall tires. Leave all the sheet metal as is (unrestored) and keep the flat white. Cheap, simple, and all fun...

    Thanks for your ideas guys. But, it's gonna be yard art and nothing more. Ive been wanting to do this for quite some time. I just never have the time with all my other projects to build this. So when this came along, I realized it was exactly what I wanted all along! I just got off the phone with the seller and we are meeting at 7am to exchange cash for junk!!...
    Trust everyone once. Just be cautious of what may be lost.
